(CBSREC) and DocuSign recently concluded an agreement giving every CBSREC Realtor® access to DocuSign’s electronic signature technology.

Its secure, cloud-based platform helps consumers and businesses of all sizes and industries to complete transactions faster by eliminating the hassles, costs, and lack of security inherent in printing, faxing, scanning, and overnighting documents to capture information, payments and signatures. Companies use DocuSign to create better customer experiences and automate and streamline their business processes. DocuSign is the official and exclusive electronic signature solution for the 1.1 million members of the National Association of REALTORS®. CBSREC is the only Company in the Keys to adopt this technology.Brian Schmitt, CBSREC’s president and broker, said “Completing real estate transactions through the Internet using electronic signatures is a natural evolution for our industry, and, particularly, for us in the Florida Keys where so many of our buyers and sellers are located outside the market geography. Of course, we’ll continue to offer our customers the option of signing documents the traditional way, but many are already welcoming this convenient and secure means of expediting their transaction.”DocuSign’s growing customer base includes companies like American Airlines, Bayer, BNY Mellon, BMW Financial Services, CB Richard Ellis, Cisco, Comcast, Costco, Cox, DuPont, eBay, Expedia, HP, IKON Financial Services, LinkedIn, Sony, TD Ameritrade Institutional, Toyota, Transamerica, Xerox, Yahoo!, and Yamaha.
